sequelize: Can't save and set associations

Before 1.7 alpha3, i did:

var article = Article.create(),
  comment1 = Comment.build(),
  comment2 = Comment.build();

article.setComments([comment1, comment2]).done(function () {
  // comment1 and comment2 are saved
});

Since 1.7 alpha3, it has changed:

var article = Article.create(),
  comment1 = Comment.build(),
  comment2 = Comment.build();

article.setComments([comment1, comment2]).done(function () {
  // comment1 and comment2 are not saved
});

I must do:

var comment1 = Comment.create(),
  comment2 = Comment.create();

But if i do this, i can’t have a strong foreign key constraint on comments.

So, is it a bug ? A feature ? How to do with a strong foreign key constraint ?

What happened about the issue ? Is the records adding in db during setting associations ?

@mickhansen Thanks for the reply. I went through the source code and it seems super weird that calling setAssociation() will issue a call to save(), as you can’t, for example, set multiple associations at once and just issue one INSERT statement.

i.e.

var entity = Entity.create({ hello: 'world' });
entity.setSomething(something);
entity.setSomethingElse(somethingElse);
entity.save().then(...);

belongsTo relations now support {save: false) when calling a setter.
